Please use "other" if you are completely opposed to the other options.

Try to find an option that is closest to you as possible. We are trying to keep it simple.

For example. I am heteroflexible romantic, so I would choose biromantic.

I just want to see where the general lean is. Not terribly worried about specifics.

This poll is not meant to exclude or be offensive so please avoid fighting.

If you aren't happy, don't answer the poll or the thread.

If you post your answers you get a bravery cookie.

I ticked in grey/demi-romantic asexual on the first one since I wouldnt call myself romantic but aromantic feels a bit wrong. The second one I ticked in other, third one I ticked in androgyne because its probably the closest aaaand I wouldnt mind tryin sex again if I actually loved a person for real which I dont think I ever will. I dont identify with LGBTblabla and have never participated in the asexual awareness week (wouldnt mind trying it out). I have a black ring that I wear sometimes, atm its missing. I am out to a few and to those it was casually...

Yeah.

I'm what I consider a very mild demiromantic. I've only ever developed feelings that I would consider something beyond friendship feels twice in my life.

As far as I'd known, I considered myself heteroromantic, because I've always gotten along better with the opposite sex. But if you're one of those folks that considers orientation to be linked to gender and not sex (which personally doesn't make sense to me, because that's not how most of the world operates), I might not exactly be hetero. I'm really not 100% sure of this anymore like I used to be.

I don't care if people call me male or address me with male pronouns, because I *am* male-bodied. But when you dig deeper, I don't really identify with the male gender roles and I'm probably closer to being agendered.

Never had sex, never see myself having it. The only thing that might change that is if I changed my mind about wanting kids someday, but since I find kids to be insufferable little twits, that doesn't seem likely.

Although I do consider asexuality to be "queer" in the sense that it's unusual (because that IS what queer means), I personally don't involve myself with any alphabet soup organizations. Subsequently, I don't particularly care what their A stands for either, not that it matters because I've personally never encountered any such group with an A in their name.

I think any time is a good time for asexual awareness. Why limit it to just a week? That being said though, I am pretty reclusive and not outgoing, so aside from informing people close to me about my asexuality, I haven't exactly participated in any sort of major awareness projects.

I don't wear any sort of bling, which means I don't wear a black ring. It just isn't my thing. But unintended rhymes are king!

I've told my mom and most close friends about my aceness. I don't exactly go shouting it to the world, not because I am secretive (I'm not), but because I assume most won't care. It happened pretty casually in every instance.

Well, because I have free time and because some of my answers require clarification (for whomever cares...), I'll just post 'em here. With crappy commentary, as usual. Please don't get mad at me.

Q #1: Aromantic Asexual. (Why are romantic labels here, by the way? They're focused on in the next question...)

Q #2: Aromantic. Duh.

Q #3: Other. (Dontgiveacrapabout-gender)

Q #4: No - but I wouldn't mind trying. (I wouldn't mind trying golf, croquet, hiking and martial arts either)

Q #5: No.

Q #6: Doesn't matter to me. (Heck, I don't even know what some others mean without Googling it... The acronym's getting a little too long for accommodation, anyway.)

Q #7: No, don't want to. (I'm far too active on AVEN to be part of anything...)

Q #8: No, black rings are pointless. (I just don't like jewelry, even symbolic)

Q #9: Yes, only to a select few. (I doubt they care enough to remember, though.)

Q #10: Casually. (I just put it on FB, long ago. Biiiiiiiiig mistake, if you ask me.)

Yep. Added the spoiler because probably no one cares about it.

I didn't answer it because I couldn't answer the last question as my coming out depended on the situation at hand.

For me some of the answers varied. I am demiromantic as well as demisexual and heteroromantic. And then with the coming out thing it really really depends.

Pink Fluffy Dragon

1. Kinda on the fence between grey and ace, but I went with demi-romantic asexual.

2. Demi-heteromantic...I picked hetero which may or may not have been the best choice.

3. Cisgender, speaks enough for itself I suppose.

4. Never had sex, but if sex randomly fell into my life I currently see no reason to turn it down (circumstances at that moment may provide a decent reason, who knows).

5. If people want to throw me into the soup that's fine. I don't really care - neutral.

6. I hold no feelings towards belonging to the soup so I don't really care what people do with it. That's their soup and it should taste how they want it.

7. I'm not good at explaining things, I know this and people have told me this. It's for the best if I skip making people aware.

8. I don't wear my ring around the house and I don't feel it's something to show off around work. Casual friday at work I wear it since I'm all casual and when I go on adventures I wear it.

9. I don't really offer information about myself freely but I see no reason to hide anything either. If someone asks anything about any topic I'll horribly butcher an explanation of what's up. So far no one has asked anything about my sex life. (don't see a point in coming out).

10. Not out.

I picked aromantic asexual but sometimes I would pick gray. I'm kind of confused about what constitutes sexual and romantic attraction. IF I experience sexual or romantic attraction it's panromantic/pansexual and really really rare.

1. Romantic Asexual.

2. Other: Romantically attracted to "Males" (I'm not a fan of Hetero or Andro as I don't care about Gender).

3. Agender.

4. Yes - Didn't really like it or it was awkward for me. Depends on the context so this is the majority. Only once was it good.

5. I don't know.

6. Both it seems like. I'm not sure.

7, No, don't want to. I'm just too busy right now.

8. No, but debating about it.

9. Yes, only to a select few. Just my Dad pretty much, but I kept changing it so he probably doesn't know.

1. Aromantic Asexual

2. Aromantic

3. Agender

4. No - Don't want to

— I'm sex-repulsed, personally; also, being aromantic means I'm not looking for a partner in the first place.

5. No

— I don't identify with any groups/communities, not even AVEN.

6. Doesn't matter to me

7. No, but I want to

— I think it'd be fun, but I'm too busy with other things to do what I had in mind. Any time is a good time for awareness, though, so I'll probably just get around to it later when I'm not so busy.

8. No, but I want one

— I saw someone link to one with ace cards on it; that'd be cool to wear.

9. Yes, to everyone who knows me

— The options weren't really ideal for my situation, but this was the closest to it. I don't really consider myself "out" or "in the closet", I just mention my asexuality when it's relevant. I'd just say I'm open.

10. Casually

Lets see... Aromantic asexual cismale virgin with no desire to change any of that. I've never really associated with the LGBT community, so don't really identify or know what everything in the acronym means. I didn't take part in awareness week beyond coming out to a few people close to me. I don't wear the ring, because I can't tolerate wearing rings of any sort. And when I came out, I did it casually.

I think that covers everything. Now where's mah cookie! OMNOMNOMNOMNOM!

Completed the poll a while ago, but I'll post my answers now.

--I consider myself to be grey-a. Looks like I answered "graysexual" on the poll because that was the closest.

--Biromantic, but mostly hetero. I can only think of one romantic crush I've had on a female friend. I do experience a lot of aesthetic attraction to women though.

--I'm cis-female, but if I was born in a male body I'd probably never know the difference.

--Haven't had sex, but might under the right circumstances.

--LGBTQI--it appears that I answered "yes" in the poll, but it should have been "no." I'm mainly hetero-oriented, and asexuality usually isn't included in the LGBT definition.

--In my opinion, A should stand for both Asexual and Ally.

--No, haven't participated in Asexual Awareness Week. Might in the future though.

--Don't have a black ring and don't want one. I got one last year and lost it after a few days. I didn't really like it though--a black ring really doesn't fit my style.

--Only out to 2 college/university counselors and one ex-friend.

--Came out pretty casually, I think.

I ticked heteromantic, but if I met someone I really got a long well with and we connected i'd be fine with . :) But mostly heteromantic I think.

1. I ticked demiromantic ace

2. I ticked boron antic even though I lean very very very much more toward men than women, but there was this one girl I thought "hey maybe" so that's why I chose bi

3. I consider myself cisgender. I was born female and identify female.

I haven't had sex, and don't want to quite yet. I'm 16 and the whole idea of it isn't really repulsive but like "ew why?"

I'd love to get a black ring but don't have one yet.

Um let's see, I'm also out. Very out. Super out. Like, my whole school knows by now that I don't take the D or V.

Romantic Asexual

Panromantic

Other - I'm still not sure, but I'm using the term "agenderfluid" to describe myself for the time being. I feel agender a good portion of the time, but I also feel pretty distinctly male other days.

No, but I wouldn't mind trying - I don't think I'll ever really want to have sex, but I'm a firm believer in trying things at least once, and I think I would do it for someone I loved.

I don't know - I don't feel like I'm really accepted as a part of the community sometimes, or that I wouldn't be. Though I might like to be.

Both - I think asexuality is massively unacknowledged in the culture, but I also think allies are really important and I think the community forgets that at times.

No, but I want to - I wasn't aware it was a thing until now!

No, but debating about it - I think it'd be cool, but I'm not really a ring/jewelry person. Thinking about it.

No, don't see the point of coming out - Yeah, it doesn't really matter. I still feel arousal, it's just not worth it to inform people I'd rather just masturbate than have sex.

Not out

Hetero-aromantic asexual, cannot truly define myself as any real gender. I wear a black ring all the time, and everyone knows I am an asexual, most people worked that out before I did!

This poll is being locked and moved to the read only Census archive for it's respective year. As part of ongoing Census organization, and in an attempt to keep the demographics of the polls current with the active user base at the time, the polls will last for one year from now on. However, members are allowed and even encouraged to re-start new polls similar to the archived ones if they like them.
